I am in the madison area. I ended up selling a few things off when the wedding bells rang to pay bills, but as I am starting a new job next month, I will be back on the AR horse and open to doing some training.

I was unbanned years ago (It was only banned for a few months). It was a refreshing break from this place. Now I mainly hang out in the ham radio forums, but check in to HTF every now and then. Suffice it to say, it's certainly not the same site I joined many moons ago. |

Quoted:
Anybody read about folks getting together for exercise & networking such as the Virginia battle buddies? Anybody see the thread about spreading the concept? Anybody interested in such a thing in Wisconsin? Plenty of places for a nice hike in the south central area. Reading the Virginia battle lines thread shows the value in offline networks. Thoughts? I'm in Walworth Co. I could probably make it to most locations in South Central WI with enough of a notice. |

I will be running events around the state for the next five months. All are free and open to likeminded folks, though.
We have a Supreme Court race coming up. If you would like to help me protect our rights and the rule of (constitutional) law, please hit me up. As for right now, if you wanted to participate I am planning on Sunday afternoons meeting at a local range to do some work. I have a large space set aside by the owners and plan on cover range time for anyone who comes out and contributes. It would be a great place for networking. |

I guess we need to figure out a place, then a time.
It doesn't have to be full ruck and rifles, at least not at first like the battle buddies challenge in GD. Maybe start out with like a 10 mile hike somewhere?
Most people park at the end, then get shuttled to the start of the hike, and the then the shuttle drivers get driven back. Unless there's a circular route somewhere. Might have to be at a state park that we can integrate several trails, or the ice age trail. |

I'll also add - if anybody has land, I have a bunch of steel plates and racks for targets, almost all rifle rated.

Ice age trail could work. In terms of hike, I think New Glarus to Monroe is about 15 miles. Not sure from NG to Paoli or Belville. |

South of Madison, the badfish creek wildlife area is pretty big, lots of trails. Brooklyn wildlife area is big too. Probably fewer hipsters than parks.

Devil's Lake state park would be a good location for most, especially if you're on the south end of the state. It's a bit of a drive for me, but with enough notice I'd be in

I would be another one who might be interested, depending on when/where. I do have two backpacks set up with Titan ruck plates, if someone would need to borrow one.

Kettle Moraine North works.
It's located so it's not a bad drive from any direction, lots of parking for shuttles and enough different points of designated trailheads to tailor the length of hike.....or do different sections each time. It's also got a "big woods" feel to it and won't draw much attention due to people hiking in groups regularly on it. |

Here's a link to the map. Note the many parking places to either do an "out and back" hike or do a group thing with cars shuttled.
You can do from anywhere from 2 to 31 miles. My wife will sometimes drop me off in Kewauskum on a Friday afternoon and pick me up in Greenbush on Sunday. Kettle Moraine North Map And....even better...here is the distance chart pertaining to the shelters, trailheads and parking areas along the Ice Age Trail. Mileage chart This is close enough to the Fox Valley and Southern Door County, Fond Du Lac, Green Lake and Ripon areas and all of the area around Milwaukee and west to Baraboo for a great day outing. |

I live in Oak Creek - very interested in this. I have 13 acres in Walworth County for shooting/hunting and I am member of the largest private range in Caledonia. I know a lot of ex-vets thru VFW and members of my club. Hope to meet other members for shooting and training.

Alright, sorry about starting the thread then disappearing.
So there are folks interested, let's do it. Pick a Saturday in the near future. I can't do weekdays due to work/commute, and Sundays are family time for me. As for where, I propose Devil's Lake State Park. Not bad distance-wise from Dodge County or Dane areas (depending on exact location). Link to PDF park map. There are some trails that are fairly easy, so a piker like me could manage it  , and still meet the Battle Buddies distance requirement.I checked, and there are no specific park rules on firearms; standard regulations on carry in public places apply. However, this is a very popular park. Even in winter, there are plenty of people out for walks on weekends. I imagine an open-carry hike will not only raise eyebrows, get park rangers called out, so anyone who does this should be prepared. This is part of the state park system, so you need a pass. The annual pass pays for itself in three visits. So whaddya say? I am not available next Saturday, but otherwise most of my Saturdays are available. Suggested dates? |

Logged a 4 mile jaunt today to get ready for this nonsense
No pack or extra weight and the puppers pulling me I got it done in an hour and 6 minutes for a 3.64 mph pace. No way would I have kept that pace with a 45lb pack, probably would have died, lol. |
